Photothermal actuation of levitated pyrolytic graphite revised

The significant diamagnetism of pyrolytic graphite (PyG) allows it to be passively levitated above permanent magnet arrays and translated in the plane of these arrays via optical irradiation, which promotes applications in frictionless milli-scale robotics. Previous explanations for the translation...
